Lee's response to Dez

[Pantone282C]

I agree 100% but on top of that I see a rapid decline in critical thinking.More and more people are driven by impulse.

Quite true. My sister in law is an English/Lit professor in a medical college. She says it's a passive learning environment for a lot of students - this is not just a trend.

Poor Travis Frederick's comments get zero love.

 

[mrmojo]

Sounds like the Oakland As in the early 70s without the championships.

 

[Clove]

Seems like the second time a top receiver has gone after GARRETT'S BOYS, with the first being TO about Romo and Witt, (Garrett's boys on offense) and now Dez about Lee & Fredricks. One thing in common here, Jason Garrett. The true cancer of the Dallas Cowboys and since this idiot arrived, we've been failures.

I've never been more disappointed in Dez than I am right now.

This. big time.

No worries the AI will take over and the rest of people will be on UBI( universal basic income)

Give TO credit tho, he called out most of his former teams.

I'm not gonna diss Dez for these comments at all. Dez played with more heart than anybody on the team since he got there. He bailed that team out of so many situations I can't even count.

 

[erod]

Sounds like nobody misses Dez in the least. Especially Dak and Lee.

Bad role model for Zeke and others.

All you need to know.

Would have to consider the source

Resistance is futile, we have been assimilated by the Borg.

 

[Wood]

Just me but IMO this a fragile locker room ......

If anything...sounds like they got rid of the fragility.

Except he failed to learn ANYTHING and forced the team to play overly simplistic because he was dumb as a hammer.

No, no, ... he was dumber than a whole bag of hammers.

 

[pansophy]

Maybe hard to believe but a lot of young players ( especially African Amer ) looked up to him. How much trust does Lee with teammates after Dez comment? Just to be clear, I certainly don't agree with Dez comments regarding Lee but that besides the point. The question is there any damage in the locker room from the comment......

Sounds like that is what Lee was trying to get Dez to live up to and he wasn't. Leadership is about holding people accountable and Lee is doing that. If guys don't want to follow that then what are they following?

Dez looks like a baby in all of this but there was one nugget of truth in what he said. We lined up in 11 or 12 personnel 75% of the time in 2017 (759 of 1,007 offensive snaps). We ran 0 snaps out of the 10 personnel which seems to finally be coming back so far this TC.

I know Linehan refused to comment, but we kinda did line up in the same place for 17 weeks. I think this issue has been put in the forefront so much at this point that Linehan has to be extremely conscious about it. Heck, maybe Dez's public remarks make it more of a story and put him under more pressure to diversify the personnel groupings.

Wrong. The plays got simple once Romo left. Romo was the one running that offense, once he left you saw how everyone's production went down. Not just Dez.

 

[pansophy]

Well that's a little harsh, but yeah

Maybe. Most people have feeling when they get fired and that's really what happened to Dez. What does seem true is that Dez has a dissonance between how he views himself and his actual performance, so instead of evaluating himself and what he needs to improve, in his mind, he was cut for social reasons.

That's pretty normal at any organization, and Lee is basically saying exactly this.

 

[waving monkey]

Just proves everyone in the lockeroom wasn’t on the same page and you can’t win like that. None of this is a surprise after seeing the product on the field.

all I read is one prima dona team mate was not no same page. Dez needed to go

Dez has been running the same limited route tree since High School. The plays for him have been simple since he's been on a football field because he was a physical specimen. Romo's maturity in the league and experience probably made it worse cause Dez had a guy who could manipulate matchups that allowed Dez the one on one and jumpball opportunities he needs to be successful. Maybe the coaches didn't teach him how to run routes or maybe he was so comfortable with his athletic traits that he didn't bother learning them, but the result is the same. Dez can only run two maybe three routes and can no longer win with pure athleticism.

Romo made it super easy for Dez and spoiled him. Neither Dez nor the coaching staff had the foresight to fix that and that's why Dez will be one of those WR's who wont play much past 30.

Distractions. I'm glad Sean Lee kept it classy, but Jerry and Stephen both need to shut the hell up so this type of "crisis" control isn't even necessary. Distractions.

Agreed but Stephen didn’t say anything negative.
